Download as PDF 59942 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 189 / Monday, September 30, 2013 / Notices Most important, the Activity Scorecard provides incentive for hospitals to conduct activities that will increase the number of registered donors throughout the nation. A list of hospitals that reach these levels will be shared with all campaign participants during monthly webinars, in monthly campaign e-newsletters from HRSA, and in communications pieces sent out by the campaign’s ten national partners, which include the American Hospital Association, the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons. In addition, OPOs, DLA affiliates, participating state hospital associations, HRSA, and the national partners can use the results to recognize hospital participation and successes. The ‘‘write-in’’ option that allows hospitals to list additional activities will help to identify best practices that can be shared with all hospital partners on monthly webinars. Likely Respondents: A hospital representative, most often the organ donation champion identified by the OPO, can download the form from organdonor.gov or receive it from their OPO or Donate Life America (DLA) affiliate. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

Information Collection Request Title: The Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database OMB No. 0915–0310— Revision Abstract: The Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005, Public Law (Pub. L.) 109–129, as amended by the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act of 2010, Public Law 111–264 (the Act), provides for the collection and maintenance of human blood stem cells for the treatment of patients and research. HRSA’s Healthcare Systems Bureau has established the Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database. Operation of this database necessitates certain record keeping and reporting requirements in order to perform the functions related to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation under contract to the U.S. Department of ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Health and Human Services (HHS). The Act requires the Secretary to contract for the establishment and maintenance of information related to patients who have received stem cell therapeutic products and to do so using a standardized, electronic format. Data is collected from transplant centers by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research and is used for ongoing analysis of transplant outcomes. HRSA uses the information in order to carry out its statutory responsibilities. Information is needed to monitor the clinical status of transplantation and to provide the Secretary of HHS with an annual report of transplant center-specific survival data. The increase in burden is due to an increase in the annual number of transplants and increasing survivorship after transplantation. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM 30SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 189 / Monday, September 30, 2013 / Notices information.

Proposed Collection: Interactive Informed Consent for Pediatric Clinical Trials, 0925–New, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: This study will compare parents’ and children’s understanding of information about a hypothetical clinical trial presented using either a standard paper consent document or an interactive computer-based consent program. Parents’ and children’s understanding, regardless of whether they received the standard consent or the interactive computer-based program, will be assessed by face-to-face interview. In addition, parents’ and children’s perceptions of, and satisfaction with, the information presented will be evaluated by completion of a short questionnaire. The primary hypothesis to be tested is that interactive computer-based research consent information is better understood and accepted by parents and children compared with the standard paper consent document. Given that many individuals have difficulty reading and interpreting standard written consent documents, this technology holds promise as a means to optimize the consent and assent process particularly among individuals with low literacy and numeracy skills. OMB approval is requested for 18 months. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 190. E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM 30SEN1

    Information Collection Request Title: The Stem Cell Therapeutic 
Outcomes Database OMB No. 0915-0310--Revision

Public Law (Pub. L.) 109-129, as amended by the Stem Cell Therapeutic 
and Research Reauthorization Act of 2010, Public Law 111-264 (the Act), 
provides for the collection and maintenance of human blood stem cells 
for the treatment of patients and research. HRSA's Healthcare Systems 
Bureau has established the Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database. 
Operation of this database necessitates certain record keeping and 
reporting requirements in order to perform the functions related to 
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation under contract to the U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Act requires the 
Secretary to contract for the establishment and maintenance of 
information related to patients who have received stem cell therapeutic 
products and to do so using a standardized, electronic format. Data is 
collected from transplant centers by the Center for International Blood 
and Marrow Transplant Research and is used for ongoing analysis of 
transplant outcomes. HRSA uses the information in order to carry out 
its statutory responsibilities. Information is needed to monitor the 
clinical status of transplantation and to provide the Secretary of HHS 
with an annual report of transplant center-specific survival data. The 
increase in burden is due to an increase in the annual number of 
transplants and increasing survivorship after transplantation.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying
